This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
For all those that are feeling
Way too fed up inside
Now here's a celebration
Of failure and losing
Like to put a shout out
To all y'all far and wide
Sorry, people but this is
The way it's gotta be
I know, I know, I know, I know
We are pushing the parameters
To a brand new low
The end is near there's lots to fear
No such thing as a good day
Is what I'm told
Let the bad times roll
The grass is never greener
On the other side
I'll stay right here and frolic
In the dirt and gravel
Where's the love in this room?
I feel teary eyed.
Between you and me I don't think
It's ever gonna change
Descend, rear end, offend a friend
It's wise of you to run and hide
From what's around the bend
The end is near
There's lots to fear
No such thing as a free lunch
Is what I'm told
Let the band times roll
Up to me I'll embrace them happily
Let you people know I'm not foolin'
Come take a ride with me
Down to Riverside
Show you what it's like to be coolin'
Life's gotta be a little better overseas
Where everyone's drivin' a Mercedes
Unsatisfied with my mailorder bride
So much for my last attempt with the ladies
Listen to nobody
This is the way I think
Tell 'em all you're gonna live
At least until you're forty
Just be glad you're only
One shade of blue in the face
Wake up, smell the shit and think
That everything is great
I know, I know, I know, I know
We are pushing the parameters
To a brand new low
The end is near
There's lots to fear
No such thing as a good day
Is what I'm told
Let the bad times roll
Way too fed up inside
Now here's a celebration
Of failure and losing
Like to put a shout out
To all y'all far and wide
Sorry, people but this is
The way it's gotta be
I know, I know, I know, I know
We are pushing the parameters
To a brand new low
The end is near there's lots to fear
No such thing as a good day
Is what I'm told
Let the bad times roll
The grass is never greener
On the other side
I'll stay right here and frolic
In the dirt and gravel
Where's the love in this room?
I feel teary eyed.
Between you and me I don't think

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
